"Circle of Life," "Hakuna Matata," "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" — these songs not only soundtracked the Disney animated classic The Lion King but also the childhoods of an entire generation. And in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the beloved 1994 Disney flick — which won Oscars for Hans Zimmer's score and Elton John's ballad "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" — you can tune into The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl, a live-to-film concert special that is hitting the Disney Plus platform today, Friday, February 7.
Filmed at the legendary Los Angeles amphitheater last May, the immersive musical experience saw the Hollywood Bowl get theatrically transformed into the Pride Lands, with "a 70-person orchestra, a troupe of skillful dancers, state-of-the-art projection mapping images, and the Broadway show’s award-winning costumes and puppetry giving viewers across the globe a front row seat to the unprecedented musical extravaganza celebrating the world of The Lion King," per Disney.
